FEATURES
● Dual Top loading CD player. For quick loading of
CDs top loading systems offer unparalleled ease.
Further, the opaque plastic cover allows you to
visualize the current playing status of the unit unlike
front-loading players.
● Auto Smoothing. Between each track on any CD is
usually a few seconds of no signal. The CDX-16
incorporates technology that eliminates this
“blankness”with the result being a smooth blend
from the previous track to the current track playing.
● Inbuilt mixer. The CDX-16's inbuilt mixer allows
you to mix CD, phono, and line sources without the
connection of an external mixing console. To choose
the input source or CD which will be mixed, simply
switch to the desired input using the input assign
switch.
● Anti Skip & Anti Jump. The buffer memory on the
CDX-16 is sufficient to eliminate any skipping from
vibrations or pressure. The suspension system also
prevents low frequency sounds from causing similar
skips or jumps whilst the CD is playing.
● Cue Point. This function allows you to set a cue
point on a given CD and to access this point quickly
and easily.
● Pitch Control. The playing pitch of either CD can be
adjusted with the use of the pitch control fader or the
pitch may be bent with the pitch bend joystick. The
pitch range can be set to two levels, +/-8 or +/-16.
Pitch range is most useful when attempting to best
match the playing pitch of one track with another for
smooth beat mixing.
● Standby Mode. If the CD is left unattended or on
pause mode for an extended period (approximately
10 minutes) the unit will go into sleep/auto standby
mode. This feature has been included to promote the
life of each mechanism as constant playing will wear
down the quality of the laser and reduce the amount
of enjoyment that you may have with the CDX-16.
● Joystick. The two (2) joysticks on the CDX-16
allow users to quick scan the CD, search easily for a
known track and to pitch bend the track playing.
Pitch bend allows you to adjust to pitch momentarily
in order to fine tune your mix.

BEFORE USE
Using CDs.
A conventional CD consists of two (2) sides. Typically one side bears a label stating the name of the CD and artist
whilst the front side, rainbow like in its color, contains the information that makes this technology work. There are
approximately six (6) million data items stored on any one given CD front surface. Please make sure to load the
CD into the playing mechanism correctly, so that the front side (rainbow) is unable to be seen once the lid is
closed.
Unlike conventional analog turntables, CD technology uses a fine laser beam instead of a stylus to read the
contents of the disc. As a result of there being little physical contact, a CD will take infinitely longer to degrade.
Repeated use of a CD, even playing over the same track again and again will likely have very little effect on the
audible quality of the discs data.
However, the front surface of a CD is brittle and may be scratched or damaged if you are careless in its handling.
Thus, please take care to load you CDs correctly and ensure that you store them in a safe place. Furthermore,
avoid leaving CDs in direct sunlight or in close proximity to a heating device or hot object, in the rain or in water,
or on surfaces that have excessive moisture or surface dirt/grime. Also take care when cleaning any CD by using a
recommended or special purpose cleaning cloth, cleaning spray or product and always wipe in the direction
illustrated below.
●Wipe from the inside out.
●Do not wipe in a circular fashion.
●Never use record cleaner designed for conventional analog disks, this will degrade the CD disc surface.
■Always store disc properly in the case.
Warning
・Please do not inhibit access to this unit's main switch by operating it in a confined area.
・Do not expose to water, moist environments or operate this device in an area likely to be effected by liquid
spillage or dripping.
FUNCTIONS
■TOP
6
CD SECTION
①PITCH CONTROL FADER
Used to adjust the playing pitch (speed) by up to +/- 8%, +/16%. As this fader is 100mm in length you are able to make
both major and subtle adjustments in the playing pitch of any
given CD sound source. Typically, this fader is used to make
subtle adjustments that allow for beat matching/mixing that
results in you ultimately being able to move from one track to
another without an audible difference.
②PITCH LOCK INDICATOR
When the light is on Pitch Lock is active. When the light is
off Pitch Lock is inactive.
③PITCH LOCK ON/OFF SWITCH
When selected, and the light is on, the pitch of the CD playing
will be set to a pitch neutral position regardless of the pre-set
pitch level or how the pitch control fader is adjusted. When
Pitch Lock is set to off, the pitch control fader is active.
④STICK CONTROLLER
[1] Pitch Bend
By pressing the stick towards the rear panel (up) of the console you are able to make a momentary negative
(-) adjustment in the pitch. The opposite movement (down) will result in a positive (+) adjustment in the
pitch. The joystick will automatically spring back to a neutral position and any pitch adjustments will hence
stop. You can use this feature to give the track a little push or a little pull or you can use it to create some
interesting effects.
（→FRONT PANEL）
（→FRONT PANEL）
stick up → The pitch (speed) decreases by up to -20%
stick down → The pitch (speed) increases by up to +20%
[2] Scan Function
Whilst the CD is in play mode pressing the joystick to the left will scan the CD in reverse whilst pressing the
joystick to the right will scan forward. This speed setting is dependent on the angle of the joystick. The flatter
the angle the faster the scan speed and vice versa. The scan function is easily used to find an approximate
starting point on a track

[3] Search Function
Whilst pause is activated, the joystick when moved from left to right will do so in 1-75 frame units for the
purpose of aiding track or point search. This is especially useful when recalling an exact start point far from
the start or end point or a particular track.
stick left → Scans backward.
■
stick right → Scans forward.
The information (data) on a CD is written at approximately 75 frames per second.
⑤PREVIOUS BUTTON
Used for skipping backwards to the starting point of the current track (when pressed once). If pressed twice, the
return point is the starting point of the previous track. The number of times this button is pressed (after the first
time) corresponds to the number of tracks back the starting point returns to.
⑥NEXT BUTTON
Used for skipping forward to the starting point of the next track. The number of times pressed determines the
number of tracks skipped ahead.
⑦PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
Press this button to play a given track on the CD or to pause at any point on any track. Whilst in pause mode,
the CD will continue to spin but the point at which you pressed pause will be the starting point for when you
choose to push play.
⑧PLAY/PAUSE INDICATOR
This light indicates whether or not the unit is in play or in pause mode. When the light is on, the CD is in play
mode. If the indicator light is flashing then the CD is in pause mode.
⑨CUE BUTTON
The last pause point is always memorized and can be cued up by pressing the cue button. This function is
useful for instant cueing as the same position (pause point) can be recalled and played back with one easy
action.
A Cue Point will be lost when,
■ The unit is turned off.
■ The CD is played or the pause point is shifted. The new cue point will always be the point at which pause
was last set.
■ The stop button is pressed.
■ The applicable CD is ejected.
(A) Using the Cue function.
To set a cue point is simple and easy. Once you have found the section or point, which you want to cue
press the pause button. To check if your cue point is OK, hold down the cue button and the track will play
past this point. Release the cue button and the initial point from which you just played will be recalled.
When it comes time to play from the cue point first press the cue button to make sure that the point is
recalled and set and then press the play/pause button. Please note that unless you press pause again, the cue
point will remain at the first point set.

⑩CUE INDICATOR
When the cue point is set the LED will be on.
⑪SINGLE / CONTINUE BUTTON
This button is used to switch between single play, single repeat and all repeat modes.
When the unit is first switched on this mode will be set to OFF, meaning that at the end of the CD's final track
the CD will stop. Press the single/continue button once and the AUTO CUE SINGLE mode will be selected. Set
to this mode the current track will be repeated until it is stopped. Press the single/continue button twice (once
more) and the CONTINUE mode will be selected. In this mode the entire CD will be repeated upon the
conclusion of the final track until it is stopped.

PGM.
21 PGM VOLUME LEVEL
⃝
Used to control and adjust the input level of each PGM.
22 CROSS FADER
⃝
With the cross fader to the left, the output signal is PGM A.
Therefore, when the cross fader is to the right the output signal is
PGM B. As the cross fader is moved from one side to the other
there is a blend of the respective signals. This is such that when the
fader is in the neutral (center) position both signals can be heard.
The cross fader on the CDX-16 is user replaceable. When the cross
fader is worn out the fader may be easily removed and subsequently
replaced with the optional replacement fader CF-R3 Likewise,
preventative maintenance & cleaning of the fader may be
accomplished through such easy removal.
■
To replace the crossfader please follow the below instructions carefully.
( i ) Carefully remove the four (4) screws that fix the crossfader to the faceplate.
(ii) Gently remove the crossfader, making sure to disconnect all cables carefully.
(iii) Replace the crossfader unit, making sure to carefully connect all cables to their proper points.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF THE CDX-16
1.Switch your CDX-16 on, you'll find the on/off switch on the left side of the
rear panel.
2.Open the CD tray(s) and put in your CD. Make sure that the CD has been
placed flat and in the tray with the front side facing the mechanism (so that
you can see the label side through the tray's window. Close the tray
3.Press the PLAY button.
4.The CD will now be playing and you will be able to fully control the CDís
status through all the various controls. For example if you want to skip
ahead to track number 5 and to cue up to start at 01.30.00, use the NEXT
button to first get you to track number 5. Set the CD to PAUSE and then use
the joystick controller to search ahead to the 01.30.00 mark. Press the PLAY
button to start playing from that point. Alternatively, once you have gotten to
track number 5 simply use the joystick to scan through to approximately
01.25.00 and then release the joystick. If you press the PAUSE button at
precisely 01.30.00 you will have set yourself a CUE point that you can recall
at anytime, regardless of the tracks playing status. From this CUE point
simply press the PLAY button to continue.
5.Now that you have mastered the playing functions you may wish to turn your
attention to improving your DJ mixing skills. With both CD units active you
can easily mix between either CD 1 or CD 2. Depending on your monitoring
setting is what you will hear. Please play around with this feature until you
have confidently become accustomed to cuing you tracks up with another
playing. To mix between the CDs playing is simple with the crossfader. Of
course, with great input options you can also cue up an external source.
6.When you have finished your session be sure to turn your CDX-16 off in
order to prevent unnecessary degradation to your CD mechanisms. To do this
just hold down the STOP button for longer than three seconds. Please check
that you have stopped both CD1 and CD2 before turning your CDX-16 off at
the power switch.
